2021 Year in Review - Top Exit Velocity off a Tee
November 3, 2021
As we prepare to enter into a brighter 2022; Prep Baseball Report Nebraska took an in-depth look at the stats accrued at our events through the course of the year. 2021 has been an outstanding year, albeit working through challenging times, for PBR Nebraska as we continue to assist baseball players in the state to ultimately find their college destination by providing a platform for them to showcase their abilities and be seen and identified by multiple colleges across the country. More than 900 colleges and pro teams subscribe to the Prep Baseball Report services.
We’ve crunched all the data from the numerous events we have had across the state in 2021; culminating with us identifying the top numbers accrued in multiple categories from our events. Though these numbers don’t reflect all the information and statistics we have documented through our boots-on-the-ground scouting staff; they do present an accurate overview where each class stands as a whole currently.
